Judith Leiber Butterfly Crystal Minaudiere Bag

Judith Leiber accessories hold nothing back when it comes to creativity and vivid color. Encrusted in crystals and stones, Leiber’s work immortalizes the various motifs in an array of sparkle and gold. Inspired by the majestic aesthetic of the butterfly, this minaudiere purse is covered in crystals of emerald green, black, aquamarine, crimson, red, and rose pink.

The gold trim cuts through the multitude of crystals outlining the butterfly wings and several larger semiprecious set stones. Thoughtfully, the clasp at the top is done in order to resemble antennae. Beautifully balanced and coordinated, this minaudiere adds an astounding accent to any cocktail or evening ensemble by adding a perfectly calibrated pop of color with a subtle surrealist undertone.
